A killfile is a special type of trojan or backdoor that, as you suspect, has
been planted on your computer by an irate and informed usenet person.

It's not nice to fool somebody that computer-illiterate. It's like
shooting fish in a barrel :-).

However, since the querier claimed there WAS some problem with the
computer, chances are that there really is some kind of spyware that needs
to be gotten rid of, or the naive sod's computer will just get worse &
worse until it no longer works at all -- so the "not nice" advice could
after all be useful, despite that these trojans have nothing to do with
killfiles & everything to do with the computer-illerate naively opening
unknown e-mail attachments.
